PHILEMON SUMMARY

This book, which is again a letter, is written around 60 AD by Paul during his house arrest in Rome. Paul wrote this book to his friend Philemon who lived in Colosse, and this letter was probably sent to him along with the letter to the church there. This is shortest of all letters written by Paul. Philemon’s slave Onesimus run away and came to Paul and sought refuge. During his stay with Paul, he became a Christian. Onesimus was nevertheless the property of Philemon and Paul wrote to pave the way for his return to his master. Paul pleads with Philemon, the master of Onesimus a runaway slave to take him back as a brother in Christ.

CHAPTER WISE SUMMARY:

Chapter#1: Effectual, Profitable Christianity. Philemon’s Love And Faith. Philemon is encouraged to accept his slave Onesimus as a brother. Paul And Timothy’s Greeting To Philemon, Apphia, And Archippus. Final greetings.
